Refrigerating food

Refrigerating food
WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to explosions.
■ Do not store explosive substances
or spray cans with flammable pro-
pellants inside the appliance as they
may create ignitable gas-air mixtures.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
Contaminated food can cause health
problems.
■ Open the doors for as short a time as
possible because otherwise the tem-
perature in the appliance may rise
considerably.
■ Regularly clean surfaces that can
come in contact with food and open
drainage systems.
■ When storing raw meat or fish in the
refrigerator, put them in suitable con-
tainers to prevent them from coming
into contact with or dripping onto
other food.

Maintaining quality

• To maintain the flavour and freshness of
food in the fridge, only place packaged
food in the fridge. Use special plastic con-
tainers for food or customary films.
• Do not place food directly against the
back wall. Otherwise it could freeze onto
the back wall.
• Observe the storage conditions and times
on the packaging.

Filling the fridge

FRESH
MOISTURE
• To achieve the most efficient use of ener-
gy for your appliance, combine the draw-
ers, glass shelves and door shelves as
shown in the figure on page EN-16.
• A temperature setting that is too high or
too low can reduce the shelf life of your
food. This leads to greater food waste.
• Set the temperature in the fridge to +5 °C
and fill the fridge such that the temper-
ature conditions inside are optimally uti-
lised, guaranteeing optimal food storage.
• The following tips show you how you can
store foods in your appliance to keep
them in the best possible condition over
the longest possible period. This will
mean that you avoid food waste:
– Upper door shelves: Cheese and
spreadable butter
– Middle door shelves: Jams, jars, small
bottles, tubes and eggs
– Lower door shelves: Drink cartons and
bottles. Position full containers closer to
the hinge in order to minimise the strain
on the door.
– Glass shelf above the FRESH zone:
Fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, cold
meats and raw fish. The temperature is
particularly low here.
– Glass shelves: Cooked and baked
foods
